Fashion often dictates its own rules, and they concern not only clothes and shoes, but also such an individual aspect as hair color. More recently, it was popular to dye your spins in either blue-black or platinum white. But at the moment, fashion has departed from such radicalism and natural shades have become relevant. Among those, cappuccino hair color is especially popular. In the palette, he stands between light brown and chestnut shades. How to achieve this tone? What dyes exist to give your hair the desired shade? Is cappuccino hair color suitable for everyone?
Suitable - not suitable
Cappuccino is a hair color that is presented in a large number of shades. They start from light, comparable to a soft blond, and end with rich browns. The most relevant question for a woman remains: to whom is the cappuccino hair color suitable? But in order to reliably answer it, it is necessary to determine the type of appearance.
Light shades of this tone will look great on brown-eyed young ladies who have dark hair and dark skin by nature. This is not blond, but not brown-haired, which is why this color will look contrasting, but appropriate, against the background of dark natural color. For owners of pale skin, gray or blue eyes and naturally blond hair, darker and more saturated cappuccino shades have been developed. A girl in this way will look interesting and make her appearance more multifaceted.
Length and shade
It would seem that the selection of hair color can in no way depend on their length. The determining factors in this matter should be the color type and shape of the face. But as practice shows in some cases, the length of the curls is of tremendous importance. It is against its background that a particular shade can manifest itself fully or be completely unnoticed.
So, owners of short haircuts are recommended to give preference to light hair color cappuccino. It is on short strands that this shade will look the most interesting and advantageous. If you dye long strands in it, then it will simply lose all its beauty and depth. For them, darker and richer interpretations of the cappuccino color are provided, which will shimmer in different shades in the sun and look incredibly interesting and deep under artificial lighting.
What to do before the staining procedure
Unlike blond, cappuccino hair color is very demanding on the state of hair. For this reason, before dyeing in this tone, it is necessary to thoroughly cure the hair if you have any problems with them. Firstly, the structure of curls should not be damaged by previously used bleaches and other chemical preparations. Secondly, you should get rid of all split ends - it is advisable to cut them off, because against the background of cappuccino-colored hair they will look very unaesthetic.
We also note that it is easy to dye strands in a similar tone if the original color was blond or blond. If you are a brunette, then the task is much more complicated. It is important to pre-lighten the hair to the desired tone, and then using the tinting means to achieve the desired shade.
What is better to be painted?
In order for the result to be exactly what you expect it to be, it is recommended to stain directly in the beauty salon. The master will independently select the right tone from a professional palette and apply exactly that percentage of oxidizing agent, which will achieve the desired effect on your hair. If you personally have considerable experience in coloring, then you can use only the advice of a stylist (it will be much cheaper than the whole procedure), which will definitely tell you all the necessary data about the cosmetics you need.
Get professional cappuccino hair dye and oxidizer of the same brand. Also note that in most professional lines there is no such element as ammonia. This is an undeniable advantage, because the hair does not deteriorate after dyeing and becomes more shiny and silky. If you get the so-called home paint, then in its composition ammonia will certainly. It allows the color to be fixed on the hair for a long time, but at the same time spoils it. In addition, it has an unpleasant odor.
Which paint will be most suitable?
Dyeing hair in the color of cappuccino is a simple procedure, this tone is presented in all existing palettes, both professional and intended for home use. As a rule, it is located at number 5-6, if we are talking about dark shades. This is a light brown and dark shades of light brown, in which there is a hint of chocolate and gold. The hair color of a cappuccino with milk is light brown tones, which are indicated by the numbers 7 and 8. In many cases, they are confused with a blond, since the paint is really bright and warm. But a distinctive feature is the presence of an inimitable beige tint, which is absent in all light blond colors. Also note that in most professional palettes, the name cappuccino is missing. Paints are identified as beige light brown, golden brown, etc. But in the palette of ordinary dyes, the term "cappuccino" is not uncommon.
Hue
Tonic shampoos have become popular a long time ago, and nowadays there are many of their analogues that have both high and low prices. It is with their help that you can temporarily transform your hair, giving them the coveted shade of cappuccino.
Note that this experiment is relevant only for owners of blond or blond hair, since this remedy will not stay at all on black curls. A temporary dye will be completely washed off from the hair in about a week, and you can determine whether you should dye your curls in this tone with paint or not. Do not forget that even tinting shampoos can stain your clothes and skin. Therefore, before applying them, you should familiarize yourself with the precautions.
